    Sticky *** OFFICIAL *** Classic Hip Hop videos

    This is for old-school classics. Give this its own post in the music section.

    Lots of times my velocity changes get undone to a degree when I compress or clip the drums in later stages. But I always use velocity changes on drum fills and hi hats

    I do still use a global swing, but for that humanisation I will just not quantize things, or deliberately shift drums around to get them off a robotic quantization, but most times in all honesty, my drums are still quantized. Because I can be lazy and try not to interrupt my workflow by bogging...

    I used to always have my swing set at 33%, but over time and mainly due to inspiration from @DJ Excellence and his understanding of the Premo sound I have started pushing my swing as far up as between 66-90% on many occasions more recently. and yeah, like @Iron Keys said, thats some expert...

    exactly, only time I will drop the L1 on the drum bus is if the clipping is too distorted. My master bus chain is dynamic EQ(decisions guided by the Izotope Tonal Control 2), then standardclip which I use for gain control and final clipping before going into the final limiter which is the L2...

    @Iron Keys often times my master bus is already pushing -6db LUFS integrated before I have done anything to it so have to bring the gain down a little before any final clipping/compression or limiting to get my final result. Many times I don't even need to use a limiter at all, but just use it...

    Yeah same here, clipping on a vocal often doesn't sound very good so I still use compression on a vocal, as well as chopping the wav up and manually adjusting volume levels if parts are a bit too low in volume. If chopping the wav up causes pops and clicks I will automate the volume instead to...

    I agree completely, I use far fewer mixing plugins now, I have replaced most compression with soft/hard clipping and saturation to get the same results. Other mixing plugins I use for very specific reasons, like Submarine or R-Bass to get better deep lows, or MV2 to even out a dynamic bass...

    Exactly this. 100% only time I've used reference tracks, just to get an understanding of how my monitors "should" sound.

    Beat This! Beat This! Competition - June 11-12, 2025

    Thanks for the feedback bro. After hearing some of the tracks by you guys I realised that maybe I should have listened to some reference tracks before making my beat. I made it purely from memory. I agree that the musicality wasn't quite right, realised this more so after hearing some of the...

    I agree with what @Earsblower said, I think he nailed it. I came with cliche and you came with the future.

    I mean cliche, west coast synth. Chronic 2001. I say that for the instantly recognisable dre sound to as many people as possible..ie the people voting. The fact you have a legend on it is dope as fuck. I'm jealous as fuck.

    I can hear Ice Cube/Da Lench Mob on that tbh. Drums were correct, loved the cinematic intro, the louder synth doesn't really give me classic cliche Dre vibes, I think the more west coast synth could have been a little louder and more prominent to as Iron put "cheese it". I went full camembert...

    @WHAT1000 I really fuck with this beat, nothing like a Dre beat but on its own merit its really got a fucking vibe that I love, can I jump in on this beat for a collaboration

    I'm legit relieved I actually won a beat this, it's been a long time.

    Plugin Recommendation: "Spawn" by Sauceware and Lemonade

    I dont think so, I dont think machine code has soul. Sure it can imitate but can it innovate? Its just a tool in my opinion, and shouldnt be anything more than that. Like AI powered EQ, can really help somebody that hasnt spent years training their ears. In all honesty though it could mean we...
